full MSD from scratch

ok i got the 6AL, 8361 distributor and coil...
i have the power leads hooked up, the orange and black to the coil..the distributor im using uses the tach output on the back (the purple and green wires)..that go directly to the distributor, so the white wire isnt used..
i get it all hoked up and i have the red wire that gores to the ignition switch...in the manuel it says to hook this wire to the old coil wire...

im goin to a carb setup so the ecm wont have any power to that wire right?
i followed a fat pink wire from what i assume was the coil, back the relays by the brake booster...

how would i hook that up?...
i need to run a wire to the starter and alternator to right>?

thanks guys

Rob

(edit)...i posted this in the wrong forum..wont happen again
